Last week's episode 175 was the most emotional episode of any anime I had the pleasure of viewing. I actually shed a tear. No i did not bawl out and cry blue murder like some prostitute at her favorite john's funeral. I shed a heartfelt tear. A tear of pride as if seeing someone you have watched grow over the years finally reach a pinnacle you had only believed they could. Thats what happened with Naruto last week, he was victorious in a battle that no one else in the town was capable of not even the Hokage. You finally got to believe that this little snot nosed kid can and should be the  next Hokage as he often professed to us weekly.

So after last week's tear of joy this week we got filler. Not a bad filler but filler none the less. A two part filler it seems as well.

So we get Iruka remembering how he first met a young Naruto and how they both impacted on each other even back then.
Can't say I am really interested in this story but seeing that it has another part means we will be forced to endure it for another week at least.
I give it a 6/10. Just not that interesting but not bad either.
